Supreme Court rules in favor of Curtis Johnson on ACCA issue

As you may recall, we discussed the case and potential sentencing fate of "Tommy Johnson" in our first seminar session this semester.  Today, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the real defendant, Curtis Johnson, on whom our case facts were based. 

I encourage everyone to read the (relatively short) SCOTUS ruling in Johnson, which is available at this link, and to then think about the various broad "meta-topics" we have discussed in class in light of what the Supreme Court said (and did not say) about Curtis Johnson's case.
